用散粒噪声和衍射极限全息术对冷原子成像

Imaging cold atoms with shot-noise and diffraction limited holography

J. P. Sobol, Saijun Wu

摘要:

我们从理论上发展和实验上证明了一种在衍射和光子散粒噪声极限下对冷原子成像的全息方法。在双点源参考场的辅助下,采用简单的迭代算法,在重建图像过程中鲁棒地消除了$^{87}$ Rb冷原子样品的孪生像。散粒噪声限制相移和吸收图像一致地检索在各种探头失谐,并在激光冷却过程中。我们始终解决小于2毫拉德相移($0.4~\%$衰减)的探测光,优于散粒噪声有限的相位对比(吸收)成像的一个因素,4或更多,如果使用相同的相机没有像素饱和。我们讨论了可能的扩展这项工作的致密原子气体的精确相位成像,和非共振探测的多个原子在光晶格。

英文摘要:

We theoretically develop and experimentally demonstrate a holographic method for imaging cold atoms at the diffraction and photon shot noise limits. Aided by a double point source reference field, a simple iterative algorithm robustly removes the twin image of an $^{87}$Rb cold atom sample during the image reconstruction. Shot-noise limited phase shift and absorption images are consistently retrieved at various probe detunings, and during the laser cooling process. We consistently resolve less than 2 mrad phase shift ($0.4~\%$ attenuation) of the probe light, outperforming shot-noise limited phase-contrast (absorption) imaging by a factor of 4 or more if the same camera is used without pixel saturation. We discuss the possible extension of this work for precise phase imaging of dense atomic gases, and for off-resonant probing of multiple atoms in optical lattices.
